New Long-Range Strategic Bomber (Volume 1) (Qiji 23051 (Volume 1))

About this set

This is the KEEPPLEY 23051 long-range strategic bomber (volume one) from the Great National Treasures series. The box lists 868 pieces and 8+, and with a difficulty of 2/5 it is an approachable military aircraft build. The finished model uses gray and black, with a flying-wing layout and a stealth-bomber silhouette; the box also calls out the cockpit canopy, landing gear bays and weapon bays, which are the details worth watching during the build. Sort parts by color first, then assemble the wing body, add the cockpit and canopy, and finish the gear and weapon bay structures so you are not hunting small pieces after the large wing panels are in place. The broad wing surfaces make alignment and firm clutch on the upper and lower panels the main thing to watch. It is a display-oriented set for military fans who want a lower-difficulty entry into the series; builders 8 and up can work through it bag by bag.
